The Lineup…
Keynote Speaker – Casey Brown
Casey Brown has helped thousands of companies generate over a billion dollars of profits through pricing. She believes that if you deliver excellence to your customers, you deserve to be paid like you are excellent. Her 2015 TEDx has been viewed over 5 million times to date.
The biggest obstacle to pricing success isn’t competition, customers, insufficient business knowledge, lack of strategy, or lack of sophisticated cost and pricing analysis. It’s a set of self-limiting beliefs, habits, and behaviors that sabotage pricing success. In this fast-paced, engaging presentation, Casey will demystify the real causes of underpricing to launch you onto a path to improve pricing and dramatically increase profits.
